Hi and welcome to The Old Button Sews, where I sell beautiful gifts designed and sewn by me. Special commissions are welcome - just click the "contact" button above.
I also sell craft kits and fabric supplies - and am moving them across to my new shop The Old Button Supplies - search for me on Folksy.
I saved a large number of curtain sample books from landfill - a local business was about to throw them away. Some of the books had gloriously rich fabrics that just begged to be turned into Christmas Stockings.
Each stocking is unique as I only have one sample piece of each fabric - and I have used different combinations of trim, backings and linings to make each extra special.

Full description
Rich, luxurious Christmas Stocking, in vibrant medieval colours. Handmade with reclaimed curtain samples, this stocking is in the Arts and Crafts style with large floral and fruit motifs, and trimmed with velvet and gold braid.
An elegant design with a narrow ankle and foot, so save your larger gifts for the top of the stocking.
One of a kind - each of my reclaimed textile Christmas Stockings are unique, and they each tell their own Zero Waste story.
This stocking features a sample of the stunning Figs and Strawberries fabric from ILIV's Arts and Crafts Fabric Collection. Jacobean crewel style embroidery in jewel colours - ruby red, turquoise, moss green, orange and golden yellow - set against a silky cream background.
The deep blue velvet used for the mock cuff is from the same curtain sample book, and the gold upholstery braid is an offcut from making stage costumes - I used it to make Enjolras's military jacket for a local production of Les Miserables.
I chose a crunchy woven material for the back of this stocking, to add more texture and contrast. I think it's vintage upholstery fabric - I'm not sure what the material is, it feels a bit silky so it may be viscose.
Interlined with cotton wadding and fully lined with quilting cotton, and finished with a blue gosgrain ribbon - all my scrap bag.
Approximate size 44 cm by 30 cm, plus hanging ribbon.
Designed by Sharon Lloyd in my attic sewing room in South Wales
